tmockait Posts: 963 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 01-15-2005 01:41 AM [01-2097] I am not even sure whether this one is silver or silver plate, but it has the feel of plate. I bought it at at flea market in Amsterdam. I believe it is a berry spoons. Any ideas? Thanks, TM IP: Logged

Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 01-15-2005 07:57 AM ALP would be shorthand for Alpacca, or basically Nickel Silver. You do often see ALP on Scandianvian plate. It looks like the bowl is pierced? If so, it may well be a large sugar sifter. They came in many different sizes. Brent IP: Logged
